Jewish Book Series

Selections for the series are made locally in Cincinnati from the collection of the Jewish Book Council, the longest-run­ning orga­ni­za­tion devot­ed exclu­sive­ly to the sup­port and cel­e­bra­tion of Jew­ish lit­er­a­ture. Jew­ish learn­ing embod­ied in the print­ed word has played a cru­cial role in the devel­op­ment and strength­en­ing of Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ties through­out the world. 

Participants are encouraged to read the chosen selection, independently or with your established book club, then attend a live virtual discussion. Hear writers’ personal stories and their literary perspectives. Authors will discuss their inspirations, processes, and books.

Haven’t read the book? We invite you to join in the discussion anyway! 

The Jewish Book Series presents books that broaden and challenge perspectives, entertain, and appeal to a wide audience base. The views and opinions expressed in the books and events in the Series are those of the speakers. They do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the Mayerson JCC, staff, board, sponsors, facilitators, or volunteers.
